2008 Jetta SE - Buying Experience by rogue2008

Pittsburgh...I traded in my 2001 Jetta for a 2008 Jetta SE (Auto,black). The MSRP was $21,760 {($21,575 car/automatic/destination) + $185 mats)}. The price I paid was $20,662 (plus TTL). I knew there would be "extra fees" on the invoice, but I was shocked to see $400 worth (advertising/reserve fund/prep fee). I was ok paying the invoice price..car/automatic/destination + $200 which came to $20,662. I refused to pay anything else...I was ready to walk, but then they agreed to the price. I got the full amout of my trade-in ($5100) and in a couple hours I was out the door with my Jetta. (It was a rough morning of negotiating.)
 
This was my first "new" car and I am really enjoying it. My advice to others is to do their homework and come with a folder full of info/research on the car.
 
Don't bother getting internet quotes from competing dealerships...It was a complete joke. All 3 quoted $200-300 below MSRP and they wouldn't negotiate any further unless I came in person.
 
Looking forward to many years with my new Jetta!

after a lot of deliberation, we decided to get rid of my wife's 1995 MB C220 and get a new 2008 Jetta SE. So far, wonderful little car! Although she was upside down,
we got good trade money, kicked in a little cash, got her payment just about the same.
This is our first VW, and hope to enjoy it during this lease.

hi folks,i was at my local vw dealer today looking at 08 jetta S models and noticed that most of them came with bridestone tires..however,the one model that i liked was a jetta S model in salsa red that had michellin tires on it instead of the bridgestones that the other jetta's had on them....should i consider this a good thing and get the jetta with the michellin tires on it????

I prefer Michelins, and would usually go out of my way to pick a car on the lot with them.

New City Jetta Owner. Weeee! by retta75

Yesterday I went to the Auto Mall in Vancouver BC (Cowell VW) and had a great experience, and a great deal. The sales guy was great, not pushy, and answered all our questions. Since we were still exploring other cars, we went away, test drove one other car, but ended up coming back to VW to test drive the 2008 City Jetta. LOVED IT. Although the other car we drove was nice, we got more "bang for our buck" at Cowell, and a great lease/trade-in value.
4 year lease 1.5%, 4 year/80,000km warranty, with a $2500 down payment (trade-in) which brought our monthly payments to less than $300!
 
They offered us the 7 year extended warranty but I dunno if we need it. Anyone know if it's worth it? We most likely won't buy the car at the end of the lease, and I don't know much about warranty stuff so I was wondering if its worth the extra $1840. We don't have to decide till we pick the car up and finish up the paperwork.
 
Anyway, the car should be ready for pickup on Thursday night. Can't wait!!

I have an '07 Jetta base with Michelins, and after 29K miles, there is still a lot of tread left. The Bridgestones used by VW aren't the top of the line, so I wouldn't expect comparable wear. If everything else is suitable, take the Michelins.

Pulled the trigger on a VW Wolfsburg today. $26,075 OTD, $6663 trade in ('04 Chevy Trail Blazer), $975 ext service contract. $20,762 1.9% for 48 months.
The Wolfsburg is platinum grey with art grey interior. Bought it for my wife and boy is it fun to drive.
It was between an '08 LTZ Malibu and the VW. Sorry GM the VW was a better buy, lower APR, and is more fun to drive.

Mike,
 Very nice! Your Wolfsburg looks like my city Jetta but yours has more HP Still, souunds like you got an awesome deal too I got $2500 on trade-in for my 2000 Grand AM GT, but I can honestly say I'm NOT sad to see it go I've also had a Mazda MX-6 and although I test drove and liked the Mazda 3, the Jetta won my heart It's a smaller engine, and there's not as much HP as I'm used to but it's a fun ride, with more options than the mazda (I love the 6 speed automatic with tiptronic) and the payments were well within our range (less than $300/month) with approx $21K 1.5% for 48 months. Enjoy!
